The correct rescue method for children after drowning

Quickly rescue to the shore It is best to lift the victim's head from the back, or lift their chest from above, so that their face is exposed to the water, and then drag them ashore.

Clear the blockage of the mouth and nose Let the drowning person head down, pry open their teeth, and use your fingers to clear debris from the mouth and nasal cavity.

Pour out the accumulated water in the respiratory tract The rescuer kneels half-way, supports the drowning person's abdomen, lets the drowning person head down, and pats their back.

 


 

Artificial respiration For drowning victims with weak breathing and heartbeat or whose heartbeat has just stopped, quickly perform artificial respiration and simultaneously perform chest compressions.

Oxygen If there are medical conditions on site, the drowning person can be injected with cardiotonic drugs and oxygen. If conditions are insufficient, use your hand or needle to prick the drowning person's Ren Zhong acupoint.

Take off the coat If the drowning person is wearing a coat, take it off as soon as possible; a wet coat will take away body heat and cause hypothermia.

 

How to save oneself

 

Among some drowning victims, if they could have self-rescued or been rescued correctly when the accident occurred, a considerable number of people could have avoided tragedy. Prevention is always the best, but it is still necessary to master some first-aid techniques for drowning to prevent problems before they occur.

People who cannot swim Drowning How to save oneself?

 

1. After falling into the water, don't panic, keep your head clear. Never raise your hands or struggle desperately, as this will make you sink more easily.

2. After falling into the water, immediately hold your breath, then relax your limbs, and try to maintain a supine position, keeping your head tilted back and your mouth upward, so that your mouth and nose are exposed to the surface of the water, and you can breathe at this time.

3. When breathing, try to inhale with your mouth and exhale with your nose to prevent choking. Try to keep your body afloat and wait for others to rescue you.

4. If there is something around you that you can grab, pull, or hold onto, quickly grab it and use it to float to the surface. If there is nothing to grab, you need to use certain techniques to float yourself.

5. When someone comes to rescue you, be sure to follow the rescuer's instructions and don't pull the rescuer hard.

How to save oneself if you can swim and are drowning?

1. Generally, it is caused by calf muscle cramps, so you should remain calm and call for help immediately.

2. Curl your body into a ball and float to the surface.

3. Take a deep breath, submerge your face in the water, and forcefully pull the thumb of the cramped limb upward and forward, making the thumb stick up, continuing to pull until the pain disappears, and the cramp will naturally stop.

4. After one attack, the same area may cramp again, so you should fully massage the painful area and slowly swim to the shore. After landing, it is best to massage and apply heat to the affected area.

5. If the wrist muscles cramp, you can flex and extend your fingers and adopt a supine position to swim with both feet.

 


Finally, I would like to remind everyone again,

Parents must not relax their vigilance!

Be sure to improve children's safety awareness,

Prevent tragedies from happening!
